DEAR CHILD-A SISTER’S MESSAGE
OR
A PHILOSOPHER’S GUIDE TO LIFE

Not all tales are fairytales,
That end in happily ever after,
But there are success stories among failures,
And even in times of sadness, there’s laughter.

There’s loneliness in an overcrowded room,
Sad times last, but happiness is over soon.

It’s midday and the day is bright,
But somewhere deep, it feels as dark as night.

You see the old pair of hands you held on to,
But suddenly you feel no matter what,
Those hands should never touch you.

Once you looked like you barely cared,
Now all this gets you really scared.

You hide under the duvet; you hide behind the shelf,
You try the best you can, to save you from yourself.

When its dark and you feel God created no light,
Dig your heart; I’m sure you’ll find it inside.

This light is courage, my dear friend,
It’ll help you through when sorrows don’t seem to end.

When dark, gloomy clouds take over your skies,
Remember the happy days, move on, but close your eyes

On days you feel your life’s a curse,
Think of someone whose life is worse.

The road will be hard, dreadful and grave,
You’ll have to be strong spirited and brave.



When you have a bad time, try to think of it this way,
That for every day of sadness, you’ll have a happy day.

There will be minor problems, very easy to resolve,
But big ones are the ones you must yourself solve.

When you can’t find an answer, keep the doubt aside; don’t race,
‘Cause while you’re digging for another one, it’ll stare right into your face.

It’s after failure that you’ll succeed,
And through sadness you’ll value laughter,
And even though yours hasn’t been a fairytale,
You can still live happily ever after.

Anger

With gritted teeth, and fists clenched,
Your face so red and shirt drenched,
Arms crossed but wide eyed,
You stand twice your size
What has got you, my dear friend,
Is capable of planning the world’s end
It ain’t a change for the better,
Against the world is anger.
When you are angry,
You’ll never forget,
You’ll make the best speech you’ll ever regret.

Who Cares

We were sitting together
Talking and chit chatting
I saw her friend, lonely and sad behind her
But when I told her, she didn’t care to glance back
But said,
“Who cares!!!!”

The other day with another friend, lurking on the net,
Came a birthday reminder of a close friend
I asked “Wont you send a greeting, one with teddy bears?”
She shrugged a shoulder, and came the reply,
“Who Cares!!!”

I was shocked! My hair stood on, a single reply
Could break a heart, the most common answer (Why?!!)
“Who cares!!”

I was in a bad mood, surely was, really true,
I blamed the birds for singing, angry at myself too
Blamed the sun for shining, filling cruelty
in hearts of people who abandoned others
by saying,
“Who cares!”

I want to show that I care for each of you my friend
Don’t be lonely or your sorrows wont end
But how can I tell you that I care
‘cause you’ll just shrug a shoulder and say
…… (Sigh)…… “Who cares..”……………..

Tomorrow

What if the world ends tomorrow,
Should we spend our last day in grief and in sorrow?

What if we never get to be with the one we like,
Should we waste our lives in hatred and spite?

What if all friends and family have to live apart,
Should we die with a frown and a grudge in our heart?

What if death came tomorrow, took our rivals along,
Should we feel happy, remembering what they have done wrong?

What if tomorrow, the world came down crumbling,
Should we really be swearing, groaning and grumbling?

What if tomorrow loved people all fought,
Shouldn’t we cherish the wonderful friends we’ve got?

Shouldn’t we cherish the moment right now,
Solve our own problems and not get in a row?

‘Cause all we have one chance, one moment, one opportunity,
To live in peace and harmony, in friendship and unity.

So don’t live your life in grief and in sorrow,
‘Cause the world just might end tomorrow
